Summary	"A socialist scholar sheds light on the interwoven histories of racism and capitalism in the United States -- with vital lessons for today's struggle. In Black Liberation and Socialism , Ahmed Shawki underscores the need to a struggle against racism that is equally clear-eyed in its opposition to the economic and political system that supports it: capitalism. Shawki begins with a socialist perspective on the history of slavery in the United States. He then presents a sharp analysis of the country's movements against racism -- from the separatism of Marcus Garvey, to the militancy of Malcolm X and the Black Panther Party, to the eloquence of Martin Luther King Jr., and more. In the decades since the civil rights movement, many gains have been made -- but there is still far to go to win genuine change. Black Liberation and Socialism is an essential primer on the history and future of the struggle against racism."-- Provided by Freading.
